"I'm not allowed to give too much away, especially as people have been waiting so long for the show to come back on screen again! I don't want to spoil any surprises, but what I will say is that we had a screening for it recently and I was gripped when I watched it.
"When I was reading the scripts for season two, I knew that it was going to look amazing on screen and it genuinely doesn't disappoint. I think the first season was really dark, but season two is even better."
What was it like to work so closely with Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson?
"Brilliant - it's been so good. As well as being a great actor, Jamie is such a great guy and very personable and down-to-earth on set. Jamie playing Paul Spector was the perfect choice, because he doesn't look like you'd expect a serial killer to look and that's great for the story.
"With Gillian Anderson, I grew up watching The X Files so I was just excited to meet her, but to get to work with her was an eye-opener. A situation like that just pushes you to be a better actor, because I felt that I wanted to impress Gillian whenever I was in scenes with her. She's someone whose career I've followed for a long time and I'm really happy with all of our stuff together."
Did you ever expect The Fall to become such a hit?
"I remember reading it when I first had the audition and thinking that it was something special. Sometimes you get scripts through where a show translates better on screen - it's a bit like picking an item of clothing up and it looks better on! The Fall was different because I could see that it was great straight away and could imagine it looking even better on screen.
"I was a bit overwhelmed when everybody started asking me questions about the show and it just snowballed from there - it's absolutely huge now! My friend sent me an article once where Winona Ryder was being interviewed and she mentioned that she was a fan of The Fall - the fact that she's seen us is immense!"
